Lightning Strikes (Not Once But Twice) - The Clash

Lyrics
words to study

Now lightning strikes in old New York

It may be dark but I wanna talk

It might rain, it might snow

Too many things I got to know

If this is spring than it's time to sing

Never mind the l'il birdies wing

Look out, look out, old New York

New York's coming an' New York talks

Hey! Strike! Not once...

Strike! But twice!

Get out your money - peel a slab

Roll some notes an' hail a cab

Drive in church drive in back

Drive down Seventh in a tank

Take in the sights, feel the breeze

See New York's one and only tree

It can be found in Garbage park

But don't inspect it after dark

Strike! New York! Lightning!

Not once but twice.

Accidental hike in the transit strike

Roller skate or ride a bike

Three to a car, Brooklyn Bridge

You won't get far if you're privileged

Graffiti Jack sprays in black

An Englishman can he read it back?

Deli Joe he ought to know
